While we've already secured some crucial wins for the Naval Academy in last year’s NDAA, there’s still work needed to provide the best resources to our midshipmen and our maritime interests as a nation. Stay tuned for the work ahead!
Together, we brainstormed ways we can support the Academy’s mission in Congress, which includes addressing renovation needs at Bancroft Hall and the Academy’s infrastructure and flooding challenges.
That’s why it was incredibly special to bring a bipartisan group of colleagues to Annapolis to see the Naval Academy firsthand, tour their grounds, & meet our talented midshipmen – including midshipmen from each of their districts – for the first Congressional delegation trip my team coordinated.
Since my time in the Maryland Senate, I’ve had the privilege of representing the US Naval Academy and our midshipmen, and I am proud to continue representing them in Congress and as a member of the USNA Board of Visitors.
As the President continues to levy harmful tariffs and disrupt the global economy with his war in Iran, it is all the more important to reinforce our alliance and ensure we're working together on global policies that lower costs and strengthen our national security.
This week, I met with Canada’s Deputy Head of Mission, Mark Glauser, to discuss the importance of our continued partnership to improve our defense capabilities, joint Arctic security, and trade.
🇨🇦 For more than a century, Canada has been one of our closest partners – literally and figuratively – on all things national security, technology, and more.
After reaching out to our office, our team was able to step in and resolve their issue in just one month! Whether it’s a Social Security or an issue with another federal agency, please don’t hesitate to call (410) 832-8890 to speak to a member of my team!

Over the past 16 months, #TeamElfreth has closed more than 1,775 cases and returned over $2 million directly to our constituents. Two of those neighbors were Thomas and his wife, who couldn’t get a timely response from the Social Security Administration.
Delivering on these large projects for Maryland is a team sport. I’m so grateful for the partnership of our incredible local, state, and federal partners to advance shovel-ready – or in this case shovels already in the ground – projects that address the needs of our neighbors.
🚶Ensure pedestrian safety by funding sidewalks and safe paths for our neighbors on Guilford Road
🏠 Make housing more affordable and accessible by constructing over 150 new affordable housing units
🌧️ Improve weather readiness and response at emergency shelters and 50+ centers
📚Support local STEM programming to help our young people build skills for the future
ICYMI: last week #TeamMaryland announced more than $6 million in federal funding for projects that directly support our neighbors in Howard County! Here’s a quick look at what these funds will deliver for our communities:
As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I will continue pushing for a justification – but more importantly – an exit strategy so our servicemembers can come home safely. If my colleagues in Congress are frustrated by the lack of answers, so are the American people.
When starting his reckless war in Iran, it’s clear that President Trump did not consider the impact on the American people, the global economy, or our servicemembers.
📆 RSVP for Howard County on May 5th: www.eventbrite.com/e/howard-cou...
📆 RSVP for Anne Arundel County on May 21st: www.eventbrite.com/e/anne-arund...
Last year, 25 of our incredible nominees were accepted into service academies, so if you or a young person you know is interested in serving our country, be sure to RSVP for either our Annapolis or Howard forum at the links below.
Mark your calendars: we’re already less than two weeks away from our first service academy nomination forum! At each forum, I’ll be joined by representatives from our nation’s outstanding military academies and a panel of experts to break down the nomination process and answer your questions.
Political violence has no place in our country. I am grateful for the swift action of law enforcement at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. As we await more information, I’m relieved to hear that everyone is safe. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...
